Steve, I also echo Beth's response and will add that equipment is the smallest part of starting a "Professional Business" in exterior cleaning. Efficiency Is. From generating customers (work) to working on equipment.....You'll wear many hats. For most of us the season is half over, I would spend this time researching how to build a Successful business....equipment should be last on your list.

Way to go Beth.....knock'em dead Girl!!!

Here, Here........Well Said!

Same here Brother! I'm really not sure "why" there is so much mis-information about bleach and why there seems to be a push to replace it's use. Properly used it's the best bang for the buck mildew-cide...algae-cide (when mixed with the proper surfactant (soap)) out there. Knowing proper ratios, application methods, and surfactants when using bleach will be the key to outstanding & safe results.

Never used it because of reasons posted above, plus it's basically a solvent and does nothing for mold & mildew.

Welcome John, pull up a chair and sit a while.

I would rather use a local Company, nothing against JWA. Our Agent there takes care of us with no problems. Just a personal preference.

Bite Me Old Man Winter.....Lol!!!

That would be me!!!

Thanks Mate!

The drop is from the power of pulling the chem. Chem valve "On" power drop, less height it reaches..Chem valve "Off" not pulling chem, full power/flow reaches further. No not that I know of.

The X-Jet works off a venturi to draw chem to the injector. This is powered by the psi and to a certain extent gpm of the machine. When you cut on the chem valve it takes away psi in order to draw the chem, so it shoots shorter. When you close the chem valve there is no chem draw so you have no loss in psi or gpm, shooting further. Hope This Helps.

It's A Christmas Miracle!!!!! Merry Christmas To Everyone!!!!!!!

I finally figured out how to reformat our youtube video, so it's now fully viewable. I had several comments from my fellow Contractors but lost them when I deleted the old video. I would very much appreciate it if you would stop by the updated video and post a comment. If you have a youtube video, post the link in this thread and I will return the favor. Here's the link.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up2vAkY6SM0 Thanks For Your Help!!!

Wanting to route exhaust through the floor of the box truck (endless) project.....Tips? Suggestions? Solid Tubing? Flex? Thanks!

Engine. I'm still thinking about this, just looking at options.

No worries Beth. John I don't advocate posting PMs, emails, or text to hurt or defame a person(s) that's just not cool at all......but if it's to prove lie(s) that someone is spewing then I feel all bets are off. Lets just say I see you posting incorrect information on a forum, for arguments sake and completely Hypothetical of course (Lol) lets call them Lies...Now I have proof these are lies through emails, texts, & Pms that I have in my possession either from or by you but I am unable to prove myself because of certain forum rules against me posting them.....My hands are completely tied and you (Hypothetically of course Lol) are free to continue posting lie upon lie and can bait me or question my character at will without the worry of the truth being known. Of course you always need to get the "Last Word In" but this is my last post on this particular subject.....So have at it. Have A Great Evening Everyone!

Nothing is being taken out of context John, nothing. I threatened nothing....Nothing, I made a statement, a statement you're afraid of because you know I'm telling the truth. Beth has made it clear emails, PMs, text will not be allowed here, and I will respect her wishes, there is no choice in the matter. How is it classless to prove the truth? Why is the truth "Classless"?......Never mind almost forgot you were in the conversation.

And once again John, what does not remembering being a mod on a board 7 yrs ago got anything to do with anything? Just more smoke & miriors from the best. Again your childish baiting of reffering to someone as my Boss or Leader shows your level of intelligence, or lack there of. What part of my post was "Untrue"? I could provide emails, PM's, & texts to prove the truth.....but that's not allowed here. It's OK John, continue your foolishness, it's what you're best at......What Part Isn't True?

That's How The Pro's Roll!!!! Being a small business owner is not a walk in the park...by any means...it's hard and for the most part thankless....Testimonials like this let you know...You are making a difference. Great Job Beth & Rod!!!

Marko, The last event that was held in the Carolinas (that I can remember) was in Myrtle Beach a couple of years ago by Celeste (PWNC). Just like "Most" events they are for the purpose of business building, knowledge, and networking. We have attened 5 events in the Carolinas over the last 7 years.

What If...Maybe...I Think....solid info there John. Jay & Bill are putting this on...for the 4th year (Unlike the Vegas event). They are area Contractors (Unlike the Vegas event)...area Contractors will be there (Unlike the Vegas event)... No outsiders are emailing local Enviro. Regulators telling them their BMPs may be illegal and pandering them to be a consultant (Unlike The Vegas event)...Jay & Bill actually run their businesses in the area the event is being held in..(Unlike The Vegas Event) The Event is Free..(Unlike the Vegas event) No Committees decide whos invited and whos not...(Unlike the Vegas event) This isn't an Org. event..(Unlike The Vegas event) This event isn't being held to get back at an area Contractor or his Son...(Unlike the Vegas event).... Because of this event or the 2 Gentlemen hosting it, State & Local Enviro. Regulators will not be reviewing pressure washing BMPs for 2014 with the very real possibility of making them stricter with more regulation...(Unlike The Vegas event). So you see John...comparing the event you were involved in and had full knowledge of and the one in Md. is quite...well...Insane.....Just Saying.

Rob, Thanks for the call, dinner invite is still open. Hope to see you there too Beth, last time we saw each other was Greensboro I believe.

You know Beth, I expected as much. I never said I would post the text, I asked John if he would like me to post it. If someone sends me a text message they shouldn't be affraid of the truth of the text they sent me, nor should you. You talk about the "Antics" of the Vegas event, of the proof that's been shown you still don't see the damage that was done there??? You agree with what Robert & Jim did under the smoke and miriors of the event? That's OK with you? I have no problem answering questions if I have the answers to them, then this gets turned around on the ***** and I get called down for hijacking.....I hijacked nothing...I was answering questions and then BS with membership and levels of Membership that have nothing to do with this thread started coming at me....but nothing was said...and that's OK? It's OK Beth it's a one sided deal that I seem to have been drawn into......without the whole picture being taken into account or being acknowledged. Have A Great Day! .

The first statement has already been answered by what you guys pulled in Vegas, and the results......Second statement is about the funniest thing I've ever seen....why does anyone need an explaination to talk "About" the EPA? Sorry Big-A I'm done here....I'll turn it back over to the ever level headed and completely sane John T. You guys have a great one!
